Harrah, Tropicana and Caesars all recorded growth. Bally, Golden Nugget and Resorts posted declines.

New Jersey Casino Control Commission Chair James Plousis said June still ranked as the second-highest June casino result in 14 years.

“Through the first half of 2026, casino win eclipsed $1.4 billion faster than any year since 2012, and with the help of statewide online gaming and sports wagering, total gaming revenue reached $3.5 billion sooner than any other year,” Plousis stated.

Atlantic City operators invested nearly $200 million in property upgrades before the summer season. They also face future competition from three planned New York City casinos in Queens and the Bronx.
